Math Problem Statement
find reference angle for 8pi/5
Solution
To find the reference angle for , follow these steps:
-
Identify the quadrant: Since is greater than (which equals ) but less than (which equals ), the angle lies in the third quadrant.
-
Find the reference angle: The reference angle in the third quadrant is found by subtracting (or ) from :
So, the reference angle is .
